E299: Gut Health Has Become Confusing: Here's What Actually Matters
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Gut health seems to be at the center of every health conversation, but it's also become one of the most misunderstood topics online. In this episode, I break down what the latest research actually tells us about the microbiome, why so many people feel worse when they start "eating healthy," and the biggest misconceptions I see in my functional nutrition practice. We'll talk about food sensitivities, restrictive diets, stool testing, the gut-brain connection, and the simple habits that make the biggest difference for long-term gut health.
